Effective CO 2 adsorption in hybrid 2D material with cellulose and its derivatives

ABSTRACTThe global cellulose market is expected to reach USD 305.08 billion from USD 219.53 billion, by 2026. 2D material-incorporated cellulose-systems are fabricated by different methods, including vacuum impregnation, in-situ synthesis, and solution casting. This review discusses various cellulose-based adsorbents as potential CO2 adsorbents ascribed to their high adsorption capacity (⁓upto 6.52 mmol/g for cellulose nanofibers). The adsorption mechanism of 2D-material-based adsorbents and various kinetics and isotherms along with the desorption of CO2 molecules from adsorbents, regeneration, and the recycling of the adsorbent are detailly discussed. The desorbed CO2 molecule is captured and stored for the further application of CO2 molecules.KEYWORDS: 2D materialscellulosecellulose adsorbentCO2 adsorptionregeneration AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank Dr. C.

During his master’s he worked on the synthesis of cellulose membranes from cigarette butts and studied the effect of various additives on the dielectric properties of thus fabricated membranes. He is also interested in mechanical design, modelling of component, and advanced processing area for development of skills.Varsha Antanitta SMs.Varsha Antanitta S is currently pursuing her Master’s degree in Materials Science and Technology at Defence Institute of Advanced Technology, Pune, India. She is graduated with a degree in Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from St.Mary's College (Autonomous), Tuticorin, Tamilnadu, India. During her bachelor’s degree she, as a leader of a team of 5 members, has worked on “Investigation of colour intensity of Henna extracts with natural and chemical substances by colourimetry”. Her major research interest involves the utilization of biopolymers and their composites for Additive Manufacturing. In addition to that, she has extended interest in electrospinning technique, 3D printed polymeric composites especially in biomedical, energy-related, adsorption-based applications and Material Characterization.Balasubramanian KandasubramanianProf. Balasubramanian K is Professor, Dean (Academics) and Head-Department of Metallurgical & Materials Engineering, DIAT (DU), Ministry of Defence, India, and has been highly acclaimed for his contribution in polymer processing and fabrication for various applications like smart textiles, superhydrophobic coatings, waste-water treatments and polymer nanocomposites.
